Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 30,427. Humphreys, C. H. June 29, 1910. Variable-speed toothed gearing. - Relates to " gate " operating - mechanism for change - speed gearing of the type in which for one speed change two or more claw clutches or the like have to be moved in one direction, as described in Specifications 3235/11 and 3236/11. The arrangement shown in Fig. 1, which yields four forward and two reversed speeds, comprises driving and driven shafts 5, 6 in line, a countershaft 11, and a gear 13 which may either drive the shaft 11 or be driven therefrom. The forward speeds are produced by two double clutches 1, 2 sliding on squared parts 3 of the shafts 5, 6, respectively. These clutches are adapted to engage with loose gears 8, 9, respectively, meshing with gears 10, 12 fast on the shaft 11, or with the gear 13, which meshes with a gear 14 normally connected to the shaft 11 by a clutch 15. When the clutches 1, 2 are both moved outwards, the first speed is produced. Moving the clutch 1 inwards brings the second speed into being. Moving both clutches together to the left of Fig. 1 effects the third speed. A direct drive, the fourth speed, is then produced by sliding the clutch 1 inwards. The reverse speeds are producing by clutching to the shaft 6 a wheel 16, which gears through iolers with the shaft 11. The speed changes are brought about " in proper sequence " by a lever 66, Fig. 2, pivoted upon a rod 67. The lower end of the lever 66 is adapted to engage notches 52, 53, Fig. 1, on a rod 51 for operating the clutch 1, notches 55, 56 on a rod 54 for operating the clutch notch 58 on a rod 57 for operating the reversing- clutch 7. A spring-actuated lever 50 is arranged opposite these notches, by which the clutch 15 is disengaged for direct driving. The upper end of the lever 66 is guided by a plate 65 with a stop 69 shaped as shown in Fig. 4.

Abstract: 3589. Coppersmith, J. Feb. 14. Packing, substitutes for. - Consists in an elastically self-tightening joint, which is illustrated as a swivelling pipe joint. The pipes 3, 6 are joined by male and female members 4, 1, the joint between which is kept tight by a spring ring 13, which is in a state of tension and accordingly tends to contract and tighten the joint by forcing the bevelled surface 11 on the pipe 6 away from the joint member 1. The ring 13 bears on a washer 12 carried by dowels 15 in the pipe 6, so that the spring is unaffected by the rotation of the joint, and the taper of the surface 11 is not cut as the ring rides up it. The take-up surfaces are so nearly parallel that their frictional engagement with the ring prevents it from being thrust outwards whatever the axial pressure on the joint may be. The taper is preferably in the direction shown in the drawing, so that the ring may be placed around the member 1, as shown in dotted lines at 19, and then be sprung into position. In an alternative form, the spring ring may have tapered sides only contacting the edges of the opposing surface of the joint members.
